ELECTION OF DIRECTORS
ELECTION OF DIRECTORS The Company’s Board currently consists of eleven directors, each of whom will serve his or her entire term and until his or her respective successor has been elected and qualified. As previously announced, Mr. Siegel will not be standing for re-election at the Annual Meeting. In addition, Ms. Delly will be stepping down from the Board at the Annual Meeting after 18 years of dedicated service to the Board and the Company. The Board extends its sincere appreciation to Ms. Delly and Mr. Siegel for their service and significant contributions during their time on the Board. The size of the Board will be reduced automatically to 9 directors effective as of the election of directors at the Annual Meeting. The Board has nominated 9 directors to serve a one-year term until the 2027 annual meeting of shareholders or until their successors have been elected and qualified. All of the nominees listed below were previously elected by shareholders at the 2025 Annual Meeting. Biographical information for each nominee is provided below under the heading “Board of Directors—Biographical Information—Nominees for Election at the 2026 Annual Meeting of Shareholders.” Required Vote and Recommendation: •Our By-Laws mandate that each director be elected under a majority voting standard in uncontested elections. A majority voting standard requires that each director receive more votes “for” his or her election than votes “against” to be elected. •In an uncontested election, any incumbent nominee for director who does not receive an affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast in favor of or against such nominee must promptly tender his or her resignation after such election. The independent directors of the Board, after giving due consideration to the best interests of the Company and the shareholders, shall evaluate the relevant facts and circumstances, and shall make a decision, within 30 days after the election, on whether to accept the tendered resignation. •Plurality voting will apply to contested elections. The table below summarizes some of the key qualifications and areas of expertise that our Board considered when nominating these individuals.

Incentive program payouts are aligned with strong financial performance results and robust total shareholder
Incentive program payouts are aligned with strong financial performance results and robust total shareholder returns achieved in 2025. •Our overall 2025 annual incentive program (“2025 AIP”) paid out at 117% of target for corporate executives. This 2025 payout was aligned with strong execution of the Flowserve Business System generating above target adjusted operating income for Corporate and the Flowserve Pumps Division (“FPD”) and at target adjusted operating income for the Flowserve Flow Control Division (“FCD”). Our customer bookings targets represented a meaningful improvement from 2024 achievement, and while we exceeded our expected threshold performance in FPD, meeting both division targets was challenged by market conditions and fewer large projects. Additionally, progress was made towards our Adjusted Primary Working Capital (“PWC”) as a % of Sales target, but ultimately our divisions did not meet the performance threshold given inventory levels in the first half of the year were higher than planned as we navigated tariffs and a dynamic market environment.

| | What We Do | | | What We Don’t Do | | Conduct thorough annual compensation benchmarking and reference the market median when setting total target compensation, with payouts above or below market based on performance outcomes Provide a meaningful percentage of long-term incentives in the form of performance-based compensation Set rigorous performance targets that incentivize progress on our strategic priorities Cap incentive plan payouts | | Maintain comprehensive clawback policies with triggers for financial restatements and officer misconduct and apply to cash and both time- and performance-based equity incentive compensation Maintain robust stock ownership requirements Fully disclose incentive plan targets and results O&C Committee engages an independent compensation consultant Change in control severance plan payments only made in event of a “double trigger” when executive’s employment is terminated | No officer or director hedging or pledging of stock No excise tax or income tax gross ups for Executive Officers except in relocation situations that are applicable to all associates No employment agreements with Executive Officers No excessive perquisites No stock option repricing without shareholder approval No dividend payments on unvested awards | |
Primary Components of Executive Compensation

The Role of the Independent Compensation Consultant
The Role of the Independent Compensation Consultant The O&C Committee has retained F.W. Cook as its independent compensation consultant to provide advice regarding executive compensation matters. F.W. Cook generally provides: •Input on the design of our executive compensation program, evolving market practices and the competitiveness of our program; •Market data; and •Input on proposed compensation decisions. F.W. Cook attends all regularly scheduled O&C Committee meetings and calls. The O&C Committee assessed F.W. Cook’s independence under the factors set forth in the SEC’s and NYSE’s rules and concluded that F.W. Cook was independent and that the consultant’s work in 2025 did not raise any conflicts of interest.
Competitive Positioning and Our Compensation Peer Group (“CPG”)
Competitive Positioning and Our Compensation Peer Group (“CPG”) Each year, the O&C Committee reviews the base salaries, target bonuses and the grant date value of long-term incentive awards for each of our executive officers as compared to those same data elements for similar positions among our CPG. The market data reviewed by the O&C Committee includes publicly available financial and compensation information reported by the CPG companies and general industry survey data, which for 2025 compensation decisions was provided by F.W. Cook and Willis Towers Watson, respectively. The O&C Committee reviews the CPG and survey data to determine the median market compensation level for each executive’s position and then considers this as one factor when setting each executive’s target compensation for the year. Median compensation is used as a reference point for pay recommendations. Target pay varies from the median based on the executive’s industry experience, tenure and performance in their role and at the Company, the role’s strategic value to the Company, internal pay equity among our executives, and any other factors the O&C Committee deems relevant. The CPG is also used more generally when the O&C Committee reviews our compensation program design, including the elements of compensation awarded and the terms and conditions of compensation components.
Our 2025 Compensation Peer Group
Our 2025 Compensation Peer Group The O&C Committee conducts an annual review of the CPG to determine if any changes are appropriate. In selecting our peers, the O&C Committee solicits input from management and uses research and advice from its independent compensation consultant. The O&C Committee generally seeks to include companies in similar industries and with similar business characteristics (such as revenue and market capitalization) and adequate disclosure of executive compensation practices to help ensure no pay anomalies exist that are inconsistent with Flowserve’s pay practices. To create a more robust CPG, the O&C Committee added Sensata Technologies and Timken Company for 2025. 2025 COMPENSATION PEER GROUP (CPG)

Annual Incentive Plan (“AIP”)
Annual Incentive Plan (“AIP”) Our AIP is designed to incentivize performance on key annual financial and strategic priorities that are critical to our long- term success. Under the AIP, the O&C Committee establishes (i) a target incentive award for each executive expressed as a percentage of salary, (ii) performance metrics for the year, and (iii) target performance levels for each metric. For quantitative metrics, performance results are generally interpolated on a straight-line basis between threshold, target and maximum performance levels (as applicable), and payouts are capped at the applicable maximum.

Quantitative Performance Metrics
Quantitative Performance Metrics Working with its independent compensation consultant and management, the O&C Committee approves performance metrics that support key strategies to drive sustainable and profitable growth. Our 2025 AIP design continued to prioritize metrics aligned with our foundational pillars of execution, growth and efficiency. The Flowserve Pumps Division and Flow Control Division utilize the same metrics and weightings, with Adjusted Operating Income from Corporate weighted 25% and division Adjusted Operating Income weighted 25%.
Quantitative Performance Metrics
| Performance Metric | Relevance | Weightings | | Adjusted Operating Income(1) | Key financial measure that incentivizes margin expansion | 50% | | Customer Bookings(2) | Leading financial indicator of growth | 30% | | Adjusted Primary Working Capital (PWC) as a % of Sales(3) | Key financial measure that promotes focus on efficient use of capital | 20% |
Quantitative Performance Metrics
(1)For purposes of the 2025 AIP, Adjusted Operating Income excludes from operating income realignment expenses, amortization of step-up in value of inventories and other assets associated with the MOGAS acquisition, and certain other discrete items which may arise, some of which are not captured in Annex I: Reconciliation of Reported Results to Non-GAAP Financial Measures in this Proxy Statement. (2)Customer Bookings is calculated as the weighted average results of customer bookings of our divisions. (3)PWC is defined as accounts receivable, plus net inventories, less accounts payable. Adjusted PWC is defined as PWC plus contract assets, less contract liabilities and other current liabilities associated with revenue contracts with customers. Adjusted PWC as a % of Sales represents the full year four-quarter average Adjusted PWC as a percentage of annual sales.
Strategic Goals Payout Modifier
Strategic Goals Payout Modifier In 2025, the O&C Committee retained the strategic payout modifier for all NEOs to incentivize progress under the Flowserve Business System pillars that are pivotal for the Company’s long-term growth and transformation strategy, while retaining focus on our fundamental quantitative financial and operational goals. The modifier allows for adjustment of otherwise earned payouts by up to +/- 15% based on accomplishments relative to key objectives in each of the strategic categories shown on page 42. The O&C Committee reviews performance results against the preset strategic objectives to determine the appropriate payout modifier of up to +/- 15%. In exercising discretion, the O&C Committee considers the quality and sustainability of performance and seeks to avoid duplicative adjustments for items already reflected in the calculation of the quantitative metrics.
Quantitative Performance Metrics Targets & Results
Quantitative Performance Metrics Targets & Results Below is an overview of our performance against the 2025 financial and operational performance metrics. All targets were set in line with our internal business plans and external market guidance and required the same or greater level of effort as in prior years to achieve target performance.

2025 Annual Incentive Plan Award Payouts
2025 Annual Incentive Plan Award Payouts Our alignment of pay and performance is one of the key components of our compensation philosophy. Our 2025 AIP payouts are consistent with our strong execution of the Flowserve Business system and performance. Adjusted Operating Income was strong with both Corporate and FPD attainment above their respective targets and FCD attainment at target. Our customer bookings targets represented a meaningful improvement from 2024 achievement, and while we exceeded our expected threshold performance in FPD, meeting both division targets was challenged by market conditions and fewer large projects. Additionally, progress was made towards our PWC target, but ultimately our divisions did not meet the performance threshold, representing a focused opportunity for 2026.

2025 Award Structure
| Target award value divided by stock price at grant equals units granted | | Performance Stock Units: •55% for CEO •50% for all other NEOs | | Payout percentage (based on average annual performance over 3-year performance period and 3-year payout modifier) | | Units payable Stock price at payout determines value at time of payout | | | | Restricted Stock Units: •45% for CEO •50% for all other NEOs | | Vests one-third each year on 1st, 2nd, and 3rd March 1 following grant date | | |
2025 Award Structure
The number of units granted in 2025 was determined by dividing the target LTI grant value by the average closing price of the Company’s common stock reported on the NYSE during the 20 trading days ending on February 10, 2025 preceding the grant date of February 13, 2025, which was $62.43. Except for the CEO, the stock units were delivered as 50% in the form of PSUs and 50% in the form of RSUs. The O&C Committee increased the CEO’s 2025 LTI target grant value by $600,000 over the prior year to better align with market pay levels. Mr. Rowe’s 2025 target LTI was delivered 55% in the form of PSUs and 45% in the form of RSUs.
2025 Performance Stock Unit ("PSU") Grant
2025 Performance Stock Unit ("PSU") Grant Aligning with our compensation objectives, performance-based stock awards provide a strong incentive for our executives to achieve specific performance goals over the associated performance period to advance our business strategy, build long-term shareholder value and encourage executive retention.
Performance Metrics
Performance Metrics Working with its independent compensation consultant and management, the O&C Committee approved the below performance measures for the 2025 PSU awards, which support our strategic focus on growth, margin expansion, capital efficiency and shareholder value creation.
Performance Metrics
| Performance Metric | Weighting | Relevance | Measurement | | ROIC(1) | 50% | Incentivize the responsible and efficient allocation of capital to profitable investments | Absolute attainment for each single year 2025, 2026 and 2027 during the 2025 to 2027 performance period with targets established at the beginning of each year. This approach helps address difficulty in goal setting in an industry with volatile end markets and drives strong performance against pre-set annual goals. Earned payout percentages for each year are averaged to determine the payout percentage at the end of the 3-year performance cycle, if any, for the 2025 PSUs tied to the applicable performance metric. | | FCF as a % of Adjusted Net Income(2) | 50% | Manage the business with a focus on operational efficiency | | | rTSR Payout Modifier +/-15% Potential Adjustment | Applies to all PSUs | Reward outperformance or penalize underperformance compared to the market in which Flowserve competes for investor capital | Relative 3-year TSR compared to the 2025 Performance Peer Group (“PPG”), with no upward adjustment if Flowserve’s absolute TSR over the 3-year performance period is negative. |
Performance Metrics
(1)ROIC is determined by dividing adjusted net operating profit after taxes ("NOPAT") by average invested capital. NOPAT is calculated by subtracting income taxes and other adjusted items including realignment expense, pension expense in excess of service cost and certain other discrete items which may arise. Average invested capital is the sum of allowance for doubtful accounts, debt and equity minus cash and is a two-year average of these items over the current and prior year periods.
Performance Metrics
| 2026 PROXY STATEMENT | | 45 |
2025 ROIC
2025 ROIC The O&C Committee sets the ROIC goal for each fiscal year at the beginning of the applicable fiscal year. Following the conclusion of the third year, the payout attributable to the ROIC metric for the PSUs then-vesting is determined by averaging the earned payout for each of the three fiscal years in the applicable performance period. In February 2025, the O&C Committee approved the 2025 ROIC goal and payout levels as presented below to cover one-third of each of the 2023, 2024 and 2025 PSU grants.

Change in Control Severance Plan
Change in Control Severance Plan Each of the NEOs participates in the Company’s CIC Plan. Benefits under the CIC Plan are triggered if, within two years following a change in control, the NEO is terminated without cause (and not on account of death or disability) or resigns for reasons constituting a “constructive termination.” Benefits are also triggered if a NEO is terminated within the 90-day period immediately prior to a change in control if such termination (i) occurs after the initiation of discussions leading to such change in control and (ii) can be demonstrated to have occurred at the request or initiation of parties to such change in control. The severance benefits provided upon a termination of employment covered under the CIC Plan include:
Change in Control Severance Plan
| Plan Provision | CEO | Other Participants Including Other NEOs | | Cash Severance(1) | A lump sum payment equal to 3x the sum of the executive’s annual base salary and target AIP award | A lump sum payment equal to a multiple of the executive’s annual base salary and target AIP award as follows: •2.5x for executive vice presidents(2); •2.0x for senior vice presidents and presidents; and •1.5x for vice presidents | | AIP Award | Payment of pro-rata AIP target award | | | Long-Term Incentive Awards | Full vesting at target of each cash (if any) or stock-based long-term incentive award. NEOs have 90 days following the date of employment termination to exercise any vested stock options | | | Life, Medical, Health and Accident Benefits | Company provided coverage for the executive and his or her dependents for a number of months following termination equal to annual severance multiplier used to calculate the cash payment, multiplied by 12 months | | | Supplemental Pension Benefits | Supplemental pension benefits equal to the difference between the amounts the executive would have been entitled to had he or she remained employed through the end of the benefits continuation period and the amounts actually received | |
Change in Control Severance Plan
(1)For purposes of this calculation, the base salary is the highest of: (i) the highest-annualized monthly base salary during the twelve months preceding the termination; (ii) the base salary in effect on the date of termination; and (iii) the base salary in effect on the date of the change in control. (2)The Company does not currently have any Executive Vice Presidents.
Clawback Policies
Clawback Policies The Board maintains a Dodd-Frank-aligned Clawback Policy (the “Dodd-Frank Clawback Policy”) designed to comply with the final listing standards adopted by the NYSE to implement Exchange Act Rule 10D-1. Under the Dodd-Frank Clawback Policy, Flowserve will recoup any excess incentive-based compensation earned by an executive officer (including each of our NEOs), on or after October 2, 2023 and during a three fiscal year lookback period, in the event of a financial restatement if a lesser amount of incentive-based compensation would have been earned had such incentive-based compensation been determined based on the restated results, regardless of the presence of any misconduct by the executive officer. For purposes of the Dodd-Frank Clawback Policy, incentive-based compensation includes any compensation granted, earned or vested based in whole or in part on the Company’s attainment of a financial reporting measure. The O&C Committee has also adopted a separate Recoupment of Incentive Compensation Policy (the “Misconduct Clawback Policy”), which applies to officers holding a title of Vice President or higher (including all NEOs). The Misconduct Clawback Policy authorizes the O&C Committee to, in its discretion, seek recoupment: (1) of any excess amounts earned under the AIP or any performance-based long-term incentives (including PSUs) by a covered officer during a three fiscal year lookback period in the event of a financial restatement if it is determined that a lesser amount would have been earned had such compensation been determined based on the restated results, and (2) of any amounts earned under the AIP or any of our equity incentive programs (including both PSUs and time-based RSUs) during the three-year period preceding the discovery of an event the covered officer engages in that constitutes misconduct, including a willful and material violation of our Code of Conduct. These clawback policies continue to reinforce our commitment to integrity and the highest standards of ethical conduct through our compensation program.
Accounting Implications of Executive Compensation
Accounting Implications of Executive Compensation The Company recognizes compensation expense in our financial statements for all equity-based awards pursuant to the principles set forth in FASB ASC 718, “Compensation—Stock Compensation.” The O&C Committee considered the GAAP accounting implications of the awards in setting the long-term incentive mix and further determined that the mix of RSUs and PSUs was appropriate for 2025.
Equity Grant Timing
Equity Grant Timing The Company currently grants equity awards to our executive officers at the regularly scheduled O&C Committee and Board meetings in February of each year, with such grants effective on the date of the Board meeting, when awards to our NEOs are typically approved. The Board generally grants director equity awards each year immediately following our annual meeting of shareholders. The Company may also consider and approve interim or mid-year grants, from time to time based on business needs and may change its equity grant practices in the future. Although the Company does not currently grant stock options, eligible U.S. employees may enroll to purchase shares under the terms of our Employee Stock Purchase Plan with monthly purchase dates using payroll deductions accumulated during the prior monthly accumulation period. The Company does not take material non-public information into account when determining the timing and terms of equity awards and has not timed the disclosure of material non-public information for the purpose of affecting the value of executive compensation.
Executive Compensation Program Review and Compensation Risk
| Attribute | Risk-Mitigating Effect | | Emphasis on long-term, equity-based compensation subject to our rigorous Clawback Policies | Discourages risk-taking that produces short-term results at the expense of building long-term shareholder value | | Long vesting requirements •3-year ratable vesting for RSUs •3-year performance period for PSUs | | | AIP and PSU payouts are capped | | | The O&C Committee can exercise discretion in determining AIP payouts | | | Robust stock ownership guidelines | Helps ensure alignment with shareholder interests | | No derivative transactions allowed | | | Independent compensation consultant retained by the O&C Committee | Incentive programs are balanced to reward the accomplishment of appropriate short-term goals that facilitate long-term sustainability and growth for shareholders |

Summary Compensation Table
(1)Amounts disclosed reflect actual salary payments during 2025. (2)Represents the grant date fair value of long-term equity incentive awards under the Company’s long-term incentive program and, for Messrs. Rowe and Wilson, Company matching grants received under the ESPP, computed in accordance with FASB ASC 718 “Compensation—Stock Compensation”, excluding the impact of forfeitures. Stock awards include annual incentive awards granted in the form of restricted stock units that vest ratably over a three-year period and contingent performance share units. The performance criteria for the 2025 performance share units are described in further detail under the caption “2025 Executive Compensation Decisions—Long-Term Incentives” above. The reported value of the performance share units is computed based on the grant date estimate of compensation cost to be recognized over the three-year period. Payout for the contingent performance awards can range from 0 shares to a maximum of 230% of target (assuming maximum performance and application of the +15% rTSR modifier). Assumptions used in the valuations are discussed in Notes 1 and 8 to the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025 in the Annual Report. The value of the 2025 stock awards are calculated using a price per share of $62.73, the closing market price of the Company’s common stock as reported by the NYSE on February 13, 2025, the date of the grant, with the exception of Ms. DeBiasio’s grant, which was granted on October 28, 2025 and the value was calculated using a price per share of $52.66, the closing market price of the Company’s common stock as reported by the NYSE on October 28, 2025. The table below sets forth each NEO’s long-term equity incentive awards granted in 2025:

2025 Grants of Plan-Based Awards
(1)Under the Annual Incentive Plan, the primary performance measures are internally defined metrics approved by the O&C Committee. The performance criteria for these awards are discussed in “2025 Executive Compensation Decisions—Annual Incentive Plan” above. Actual amounts payable under the Annual Incentive Plan, if any, can range from 25% (Threshold) to 200% (Maximum) of the target amounts for the Named Executive Officers based upon the extent to which performance under the foregoing criteria meets, exceeds or is below the target. In addition, the payment is subject to a strategic goals payout modifier which may increase or decrease the payout by +/-15%. (2)The number of shares listed reflects PSUs granted under the Company’s long-term incentive program that could be earned if the threshold, target, or maximum performance goals are attained. The performance criteria for these awards are discussed in “2025 Executive Compensation Decisions—Long-Term Incentives” above. (3)These amounts represent the fair value, as determined under FASB ASC Topic 718, of the stock awards based on the grant date fair value estimated by the Company for financial reporting purposes, excluding the effect of estimated forfeitures. (4)Represents the fair value on the date of grant of PSUs, excluding the effect of estimated forfeitures and using the Monte Carlo simulation. During the performance period, earned and unearned compensation expense is adjusted based on changes in the expected achievement of the performance targets. (5)The amounts shown reflect the number of annual RSUs granted to each Named Executive Officer under the Company’s long-term incentive plan. (6)The amounts shown reflect shares contributed by the Company as a 15% match to the shares the Named Executive Officer purchased under the Company's ESPP.

(3)These represent 2023 contingent performance share units under the Company’s long-term incentive program, plus accrued dividend equivalents. The targets set for the 2023 plan were based on: 1) ROIC improvement goals compared to the Company’s long-term ROIC targets; and 2) Free Cash Flow as a percent of net income, including a secondary measure of relative TSR which could increase or decrease the award 15% compared to that of the PPG for the same period. Payouts could range from 0 shares to a maximum of 230% of the target. In February of 2026, these awards were certified based on performance through December 31, 2025 and vested at 214.8% of target on February 12, 2026 and are reflected at such level in the table above. (4)These represent 2024 contingent performance share units under the Company’s long-term incentive program, plus accrued dividend equivalents. The targets set for the 2024 plan are based on: 1) ROIC improvement goals compared to the Company’s long-term ROIC targets; and 2) Free Cash Flow as a percent of net income, including a secondary measure of relative TSR which can increase or decrease the award 15% compared to that of the PPG for the same period.

Quantification of Potential Payments
Quantification of Potential Payments The following table sets forth the estimated value of the potential payments to each of the NEOs, other than Mr. Wilson, assuming the executive’s employment had terminated on December 31, 2025, under the scenarios outlined below. The payments made to Mr. Wilson in connection with his termination of employment on January 9, 2026 are described below. For the events of termination involving a change in control, we assumed that the change in control also occurred on December 31, 2025. In addition to the payments set forth in the following tables, the NEOs may receive certain payments upon their termination or a change in control pursuant to our Qualified Pension Plan, SERP, SMRP and SRSP. Previously vested amounts and contributions made to such plans by each NEO are disclosed in the “2025 Pension Benefits” and the “2025 Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Benefits” tables above.

Analysis of the Information Presented in the Pay versus Performance Table
Analysis of the Information Presented in the Pay versus Performance Table As described in more detail in the section “Compensation Discussion and Analysis,” the Company’s executive compensation program reflects a variable pay-for-performance philosophy. While the Company utilizes several performance measures to align executive compensation with Company performance, all such Company measures are not presented in the Pay versus Performance table. Moreover, the Company generally seeks to incentivize long-term performance, and therefore does not specifically align the Company’s performance measures with “compensation actually paid” (as computed in accordance with SEC rules) for a particular year. In accordance with SEC rules, the Company is providing the following graphical presentations of the relationships between information presented in the Pay versus Performance table.

CEO PAY RATIO FOR FISCAL YEAR 2025
CEO PAY RATIO FOR FISCAL YEAR 2025
Pay Ratio
Pay Ratio Our CEO to median-compensated employee pay ratio has been calculated in accordance with the applicable rules under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and is a reasonable estimate calculated in a manner consistent with Item 402(u) of Regulation S-K. Mr. Rowe had 2025 total compensation of $10,914,232, which reflects the total compensation reported in the “Summary Compensation Table” in this proxy statement. Our median employee’s annual total compensation for 2025 was $74,349, calculated using the same methodology as used in the calculation of our CEO’s compensation discussed above. As a result, the annual total compensation for our CEO in 2025 was approximately 147 times that of our median employee’s annual total compensation.
